Take to the skies with Flying Machines!
Follow the famous aviators from their bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio, to the fields of North Carolina where they were to make their famous flights. In an era of dirigibles and hot air balloons, the Wright Brothers were a number of the first innovators of heavier than air flight. But within the hotly competitive international race toward flight, Orville and Wilbur were up against much more than bad weather. Mechanical failures, lack of awareness, or even other aviators complicated the Wright Brothers’ journey. Even though they weren’t as rich as their European counterparts, their impressive achievements demanded attention at the international stage. Way to their carefully recorded experiments and a healthy dash of bravery, the Wright Brothers’ flying machines took off.
